Interesting subject matter. Concerns NYC but this is a situation some of the board members have gone through in the past with moving from KC's core. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/realestate/comparing-suburbs-montclair-in-new-jersey-vs-dobbs-ferry-in-new-york/ar-BBJuuyk?li=BBnbfcN "Once you ha...

A few of the older apartment complexes in the neighborhood have already been refurbished and updated. And as the complex grows more of the nearby housing stock will also be refurbished and updated. It will take time, afterall look at the urban core of KC and the time it has taken till now and still ...

Not sure how large you consider H&R Block but that would be the only large firm I can think of that has moved to downtown in the last 25 years.
